Here is the best info I could find on 3 pages of my search for "port" "porting" in the Gen III Internal Engine Forum. Some threads more detailed than others, but all have some relevant information.
Need Info on Hand Porting LS-6 heads
Flow results on my home ported heads
port 241s or just buy some 2.5s snd sell mine?
home porting heads questions
can these barely ported 241 heads make any power?

I honestly wouldnt even waste the money unless you have lost a head gasket. The most you can probably bump your dynamic compression ratio is something like .010" just guessing with the stock cam but just that difference can be made up by running a cometec .040" head gasket instead of the stock GM .054" head gasket to raise compression. See there is static compression which is the compression that your pistons and heads make (i.e 10.1:1 stock with 67ccs) and the dynamic compression which is of the engine running which i believe ideal dynamic compression is something like 8.5:1 or something i think stock is like 8.4:1 i THINK. I know my dynamic compression is something like 7.9:1. the longer duration keeps the valves open longer thuse bleeding off some of the compression
You dont want to run a higher dynamic compression with the nitrous as you will already have to retard timing and retarding timing even further could causeyou to lose power or create unnecessary knock.
Why do a 'small' ammount of port work? Are you doing this yourself?

I assume you meant that you spent $600 more to get a PRC 2.5 head (total of $1000). Are you referring to the 5.3 heads or LS6? 5.3's are listed at $1134.99 at present, so I could see you getting them for about $1000 some time ago. LS6 heads are $1424.99 right now, quite a bit more.

After doing the research for post #23 above, and coming across a great deal on a setup of take off 241 heads, I've changed my tune, and I'm going to see what I can do to improve on what I have without breaking the bank, or a stock 10-bolt. Let's hope I can prove myself wrong, along with other critics...
